TO: William P. Barr (R), Hypocrite, Liar, and Ass-Kisser Extraordinaire
RE your comment: This is not decay. This is organized destruction. Secularists and their allies have marshalled all the forces of mass communication, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion & traditional values."
I agree with you that what is happening in our country is not decay. It is in fact organized destruction and that destruction has been planned and carried out by Donald Trump, his corrupt cronies, and the spineless sycophants in the Republican party who have enabled his every crime..
Our country has traditional values values which the Trump administration is systematically trying to destroy. Those values include honesty and truth-telling. They include welcoming strangers to our shores. They include embracing diversity, respecting the rights of others, and equality before the law.
You, sir, hold yourself as a devout Catholic. Exactly where do you find Christian values in locking children in cages, or treating fellow human beings like animals? Where do you find Jesus message in demonizing people of colour, people of different faiths, people of different sexual orientations?
What is the Christian principle behind abandoning our allies, knowing they will be slaughtered as a result? What is the Christian principle that underpins the gutting of social programs that feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and care for the sick, as Jesus himself admonished his followers to do?
It is not secularists who have engaged in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values." It is you and your ilk, hypocrites who lie, cheat and steal in order to attain political power. It is you and your fellow Republicans who have assaulted our nations deeply-held values, and continue to do so.
Quite frankly, I am amazed that you have the balls to stand on a stage and hurl such accusations at others, given that you lack the courage to stand up to your lying, pussy-grabbing pResident and instead enable his unbridled attacks on our own nation and its people.
Thou shalt not bear false witness does that ring a bell, Mr. Holier-Than-Everyone Catholic? You have repeatedly used your position to bear false witness against Joe Biden and his son. You bore false witness when you blatantly lied about the contents of the Mueller report. And you continue to bear false witness in furtherance of a pResident whose own lies are now of a number that staggers the imagination.
The time-honoured phrase among Christians used to be What would Jesus do? Do you really believe that Jesus would traumatize innocent children by taking them from their parents and jailing them? Do you honestly believe that Jesus would label all black and brown people as disease-ridden rapists, drug dealers, and violent criminals? Do you think Jesus would look at the plight of the Kurds and say fuck em, let them all die?
If you do believe any of those things, sir, its apparent that the price of your Baltimore Catechism was wasted money. You are no more of a Christian than you are an honest man.
I look forward to the day which, in case you havent noticed, is drawing nigh when you so-called Christians will be called to account for using your religious beliefs as a shield behind which you hide, while destroying our countrys values, and the values that every true Christian holds sacrosanct.
I am just one American among millions who will rejoice when you spineless hypocrites are exposed for what you are mealy-mouthed sycophants who have used your political positions to further the horrific agenda of a treasonous pResident who has colluded with our enemies, embraced murderous despots, and personally enriched himself while decimating the country he swore an oath to serve and protect.
At this point, Mr. Barr, I would advise you to examine your conscience, confess your sins, and resolve to sin no more. It might save you from the wrath of God but it wont save you from having to face your crimes, and suffer the consequences thereof.
Yours in Christ (if you even remember who that is),

(15,805 posts)those whom Jesus called "whited sepulchers". Barr and his boss would likely be okay with that, seeing as how it has "white" in it . . .

(6,180 posts)he accuses others of being exactly what he is.
Barr is a foul beast; a satan from the depths of hell.
He serves his master, Trump, the Father of Lies.
These Trumpians have no love in their hearts; nothing for others; they serve themselves.
All those who worship Trump are kindred spirits with him; devils and demons who live only to destroy all that is good and loving on this earth.
Yeah, it sounds pretty grim. That's because it is.
How else could you explain the depravity of these people?
It goes far beyond just a difference of understanding in how the country should be run.
They represent the worst of what humanity can be; the perfect darkness of hell unleashed on the physical realm of Earth.

Would that your rant could be viewed by millions, as I'm sure there are many who would feel strength and solace in knowing they're not alone.

(6,641 posts)Barr, a supposed religious person wants us to follow a party that not only lies but wants us to stand by while they install a Caesar, as well as committing the crimes you mentioned. Jesus is weeping. So are democrats.

(12,545 posts)He's a disgrace to the moral standards most of us embrace, and a walking talking case of legal malpractice. He makes John Mitchell look like an honorable man. Hell, he's Trump's Roy Cohn who went to his grave as a disgraced and disbarred lawyer. Roy Cohn should have been forced to undergo foreskin restoration as he cast a shadow over the Jewish people. Barr is the outsized version of Roy Cohn.

(868 posts)Where is you since of history? Didn't Barr, using the same lame playbook,scuttle a previous investigation in another republican traitor?
And hasn't this entire destruction of people's rights been the battle cry of the republicans since they set fire to America in the Great Depression started in 1929 crash?
History matters!
